The terrorists were said to have invaded Kautikari, which is near the Cameroon border, and opened fire on the residents.
“They were about twenty, well-armed. They came in four-wheel drive vehicles and some motorcycles. Initially, I thought they were soldiers,” survivor Jonah Umaru told Voice of America.
“The man running behind me was gunned down as I was fleeing. Afterwards, there were 15 people lying dead in the streets,” Umaru added.
